Transition to low-carbon heat
Considers options for low-carbon heating to understand their implications for users and energy systems.
Horizon Scanning
Many of the present suite of UK policies and research are based on a set of mega trends and uncertainties established in scenarios developed some time ago. There is a need to integrate the most recent developments into the work of ERP, its Members and the broader energy space.
International Engagement
Development of energy technologies that can significantly reduce global carbon emissions will require an international effort. Recent initiatives from the EU, IEA and G8 demand that the UK take a strategic approach in involvement in international activities, which should include public and private sectors.
An Economic Value Assessment of Low Carbon Pathways (EVAP)
Considers how the UK currently assesses economic impacts & benefits within some of its major pathway and scenario works.
Resource Use Strategies – Minerals
Assesses the availability and scarcity of minerals required for the energy system.
International Abatement Opportunities
Sought to assess the UK’s carbon abatement trajectory relative to those of Germany, Japan, US, China and India.
Engaging the public in the transformation of the energy system
Recommends the need for a Strategic Narrative and the importance of engaging with the public.
Analysis of Energy Systems Scenarios
ERP’s report Energy Innovation Milestones to 2050 built on an analysis of public and private sector scenarios for the UK’s energy system, bringing out some of the common themes and areas of uncertainty.
Innovation Milestones to 2050
The aim of the ERP “Innovation Milestones to 2050” project was to develop a shared understanding of what current analysis tells us about the technology development milestones and critical decision points for the likely key components of the energy system in 2050.
UK Energy Innovation
Brings together previous ERP work to highlight recommendations to ensure that the UK will have the technologies available to meet the daunting challenge set by climate change.
